Design and Development of GM Cryocooler-Based Hydrogen Liquefaction System
摘要
Liquid hydrogen (LH2) is a critical component in pursuing efficient and clean energy systems, offering high energy density and minimal environmental impact. This paper discusses a hydrogen liquefaction system utilizing a Gifford–McMahon (GM) cryocooler. This setup incorporates the fabrication of heat exchangers for both stages of the GM cryocooler and a dedicated cryostat for comprehensive testing. This paper explains the detailed choices in design, operational complexities, and challenges encountered while creating a system for liquefying hydrogen using GM cryocooler technology, contributing valuable insights to the broader landscape of sustainable energy solutions.
